CHINA IS NOW USING ITS PUPPETS CAMBODiA AND LAOS TO STOP ANY MENTIONING OF THE INTERNATIONAL COURT 5 - 0 RULING AGAINST CHINA FOR ISLAND GRABBING OF THE SOUTH SEA - THAT WOULD SEND THE MESSAGE OF STOP THE EMPIRE OF CHINA'S EXPANSION IN ASIA - AS THE ASEAN SUMMIT MEETS IN LAOS THIS 2016

There will be absolutely no mention of the Arbitral Tribunal’s unanimous decision against China and in favor of the Philippines during the current ASEAN summit in Laos. Following the footsteps of Cambodia which in July of this year also blocked any mention of the UN arbitration court’s decision during an earlier meeting, Laos like Cambodia is simply shielding its prime benefactor, Communist China, from obvious embarrassment.


So how come these two countries, which were not part of the original five ASEAN founding members and were invited to join almost as an afterthought, can now decide what ASEAN can and cannot talk about at meetings? In 1967, five Southeast Asian countries namely: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand, sent their foreign ministers to Bangkok to sign what is now known as the Bangkok Declaration, that formed the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).


Joint communiqués were the norm after each ASEAN meeting up until Cambodia decided it had nothing to lose by going against the Philippines and preventing any mention of the South China Sea ruling in the association’s joint communiqué this past July. Now Laos is taking its cue from Cambodia and stating beforehand that there will be no mention of the UN Arbitral Tribunal’s decision during the upcoming meeting.

HOW MANY MORE CRIMES NEEDS TO BE COMMITED FOR LIBERALS TO REALIZE THAT CRIMINALS DOES THE CRIME NOT LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WITH THE SELF PROTECTION OF GUNS - AND CRIMINALS MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE CRIMES CAN BE ELIMINATED - WELL RAHM EMMANUEL HAS JUST HAD THAT EPIPHANY AFTER 5 YEARS IN OFFICE AND CRIME HAS NOT LET UP IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND SENDING THE MESSAGE THAT CRIME DOES PAY WHEN LEFTISTS RUN THE SHOW

Chicago officials have also begun to admit that the recent spike in homicides is a crime problem – not a gun problem. Just this week, Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson acknowledged that “as long as we fail to hold violent repeat offenders responsible for their actions, we're going to hear the same stories of murders and shootings in certain parts of our city.”

Johnson blamed Chicago’s broken justice system. “It's frustrating for [Chicago police] to arrest a guy on Friday for an illegal gun and then the next Thursday they see him right back out on the street with another illegal gun.” A police spokesman echoed Johnson’s frustration: “with nearly half of those we arrest for murder being repeated gun offenders, we need help to ensure these individuals stay off our streets after repeated arrests for guns.”

Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez made a similar acknowledgment last week: “Criminals know and understand our system” and “tell prosecutors that Illinois gun laws are ‘a joke.’” She noted that the worst offenders “are spending fewer and fewer days behind bars for their violent and repeat felony gun offenses,” and that “an unexplained revolving door” is “spitting these convicted criminals out of prison after they have served only a fraction of their court-imposed sentences for violent gun offenses.”

The problem is exacerbated by a new policy the Chicago Police implemented through an agreement with the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois. The policy, which took effect on January 1^st, requires officers to write a detailed report every time they stop a suspect for a brief investigation. This not only requires time-intensive paperwork, but suspects must also get a receipt indicating the officer’s name, and the time, place, and reason for the stop.
